Lyrical sensation, Dave Childz, delivers a platter of underground hits and throws up a middle-finger to his competitors on his latest project, “Forever Real.” The Bronx born spitter brings the heat on 7 hard-hittin’ cuts that showcase his musical diversity and abundant skills on the M-I-C. Whenever you hear the term “man on a mission” KNOW that they’re referring to Dave. The dedication to his craft is apparent…and this collection, in particular, promises to push the artist’s career into the stratosphere!
It all begins with “Do Better,” a moody, hypnotic gem that finds the talented emcee reflecting on his daily grind. Whether dealing with industry disappointments, a break up with his girl, or any other soul-crushing event, Dave’s indomitable spirit won’t allow him to quit. If things go wrong do better next time. There are no easy roads when pursuing your dreams. Next up is “The Crew” which allows the lyricist to boast about the tight bond he shares with his ATF.L Entertainment crew over an infectious, “trapped out,” speaker-shaking soundscape. Just when you get to the point of nearly spraining your neck from all the head-nodding excitement, Dave slows things down with the trippy “Paranoid.” The track describes(in vivid detail)how the pursuit of fast money through illegal means only leads to stress-filled days & sleepless nights.
“Thursday Nights at The Hyatt”(Interlude)conjures up images of erotic action with its lush, sensual grooves while “4AM” creates the perfect analogy between addiction and late night creepin’ with someone else’s girl. “DRVNK” is a party song that doesn’t sacrifice quality lyrics at the cost of having a good time & the title song, “Forever Real,” brings it all home with a triumphant track designed to dismiss the haters & drive the point home that Dave Childz is here to stay!
Many rappers claim that they’ll stay loyal to their roots and represent Hip Hop to the fullest. That doesn’t always work out. Dave Childz, on the other hand, will never compromise his artistic integrity. The truth shines through in his music…but that’s to be expected from a gifted lyricist who remains down to earth and “Forever Real.”
